C1669 first stage Tiger Lady (1/2)

Madam, this is a form of honorific title for women. The wives of the masters in the kingdom can also be called Madam, including the wives of the lowest level scholar or the Elementary Scholar's wife.

Madam was just like the westerner who was honored to be called Lady X, she was a kind of honorific.

However, in ancient times, Madame was definitely not a name anyone could call, because Madame was the name of a female official in the ceremony.

According to the records of the ceremony, the Son of Heaven had set up a new wife, a third wife, a ninth concubine, and so on … One could see that the position of madame was second only to that of the Queen.

Zhou Li was the origin of the etiquette law in China. After that, there were many changes to the etiquette law in the Han and Tang dynasties and Song Ming dynasties.

Even the late Qing. Although a scholar's wife or the rich man's wife could all be honored by the name of Madam Ye, this title could not be applied to the written word.

In other words, if a famous woman had to leave her name in a history book, or carve a tombstone after death, or have a later generation of legends … No one dared to write the word 'Madam' carelessly, because it would require the bestowment of a title by the imperial government.

It was an honor, first rank first rank first rank first rank wife, second rank first rank third rank fourth rank fifth rank … Only such officially recognized wives can be written in history books or epitaphs.

The late Qing was like this, and the Japanese etiquette system was completely brought from China during the time of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Japanese had already advocated the weekly etiquette system, and the Central Plains etiquette system had undergone many changes over the past thousand years.

Japanese court customs and etiquette were very close to the Han Chinese scholar-officials of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Some people might have asked Japan if they didn't bring back an envoy from the Tang Dynasty for absorbing the Central Plains culture. Logically speaking, it should be even closer to Tang Dynasty.

This window paper was actually very simple. This was because the Japanese, the Central Plains Han people and the other races all had a common characteristic, and that was to worship the ancients.

Yes, humans have a very unique ancient way of thinking. In the era of ancient Greece, people even worshipped Atlantis and the Era of Gods, and the Roman Empire had a very strong obsession with Greek civilization.

Ancient Egyptian civilization had long since died out, but this did not prevent future generations from dreaming and singing!

The Chinese people were the same as well. The Tang Dynasty was very powerful but the literati still had ancient thoughts. In their hearts, the saints of the ancient times were always perfect, but the ancient times were too far away, so people were not clear about how those people lived their lives.

Then he could only take a step back and choose the person he was most familiar with, which was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Tang people worshipped the culture of that era, and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, the unbridled arrogance of the Bamboo Forest's Seven Sages, and even the Tang Dynasty's open relationship of a man and a woman were all related to the culture of that era.

The Tang people advocated two Jin cultures, so what about the primary school students of the Tang people, Japan? Naturally, it was a more fanatical worship, which was also the reason why Japan retained so many fragments of the Shuangjin culture.

At this moment, ordinary Japanese nationals were not even qualified to have their surname. It was normal for the grandson to not know his grandfather's name, since the clan relationship was only between the civil officials and the martial family's big name.

Forget about the fall of the Sky Emperor, no matter how strong the Tsurukawa's Palace was, no matter how much power a general had, there was one thing that he could not take away.

This was an inalienable right of the Sky Emperor and the civil officials under him. The Wu Clan would not be able to lay their hands on it for a thousand years.
